Lyrics

[00:55.00] Black is the colour
[00:58.00] of my true love's hair
[01:01.00] Her lips are like some roses fair
[01:08.00] She has the sweetest smile
[01:14.00] and the gentlest hands
[01:18.00] And i love the ground where on she stands
[01:33.00] I go to the Clyde
[01:36.00] where i mourn and weep
[01:40.00] For satisfied i never can be
[01:48.00] I write her a letter
[01:51.00] just a few short lines
[01:55.00] and suffer death a thousand times
[02:10.00] Black is the colour of my true love's hair
[02:18.00] Her lips are like some roses fair
[02:25.00] She has the sweetest smile
[02:28.00] and the gentlest hands
[02:33.00] And i love the ground where on she stands
[02:48.00] I love my love and well she knows
[02:56.00] I love the ground where on she goes
[03:03.00] And i wish the day it soon would come
[03:11.00] when she and i could be as one
